From his twitter:
"Don’t be so dramatic. No one is nuking anyone or threatening that. I’m telling you this is not the 18th Century. The argument that you would go to war with your government if an assault weapons ban was in place is ludicrous and inflames the gun debate. Which is what you want."
"America’s gun debate in one thread. 1) I propose a buy-back of assault weapons 2) Gun owner says he’ll go to war with USA if that happens 3) I sarcastically point out USA isn’t losing to his assault weapon (it’s not the 18th Century) 4) I’m called a tyrant 5) 0 progress"

He's not wrong, the idea of a civilian militia successfully overthrowing a tyrannical government in a modern Western country is ludicrous. Back when muskets were standard for everyone, that was a realistic proposition. Today with things like nukes and napalm, it's not. It would be short. Civilian power over government won't be found in guns, but you won't be able to convince paranoid gun owners that. Seen here: Using an often described counter-argument for for gun ownership and it's immediately spun as an active threat against them. *Eyeroll*

@Faithofchristian, In the future, you might want to try getting your news from Reuters, the Associated Press, or Bloomberg. Those are top ranked sources for accuracy.

If the Daily Caller, is not a accuracy news sources, Then why isn't Swalwell calling Daily Caller out for their un-accuracy reporting. If it's not accurate.
It seems people will call something
Un-accurate, all but the one thats involves.
